EGG-Biomass.

Specification of Lettgrs Patent.

Patented May 5, 1908.

Application filed October 10, 1907. Serial No. 336,772.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN CSINCSAK, a citi zen of the United States,residing at Chicago,

in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented new anduseful Im rovements in Egg-Holders, of which the f0 lowing is aspecification.

My invention relates to egg holders, and its primary object is toprovide a device of this character by means of which a plurality of eggsmay be inserted and supported within a boiler and removed therefrom whencooked.

A further object of my invention is to provide an egg holder with novelmeans adapted to carry a sand time glass.

A still further object of my invention is to provide an e g holder whichis simple, durable and eficient, and one which may be manufactured andsold at a comparatively low cost.

With the above and other objects in view,

the invention consists in the construction,

combination and arrangement of parts here inafter fully described,claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in-

Which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of an egg holder constructed inaccordance with my invention, and Fig. 2 is a top paln view thereof, thehandle being removed.

Referring to the drawing by reference numerals, 1 designates a verticalstandard, to the lower end of which is secured a plurality of radiallydisposed arms 2, said arms forming the base of the holder. members 3 aresecured to the outer ends of the arms 2, and each consists of twosubstantially U-shaped spring clamps 4. The clamps 4 of each eggreceiving member are secured together at right angles with relation toeach other by means of rivets 5, said rivetssecur-i ing the eggreceiving members to the arms 2. In view of the relative arra ement ofthe clamps of egg receiving mem er, an' egg is adapted to be supportedin an upright position, the clamps conforming to" the contour of the eggand readily yielding during the application and removal of the same.

The handle 6 of the egg holder is construct- Egg receiving ed of asingle strandof wire bent upon itself to provide an eye 7 by means ofwhich the holder may be supported when notin use, and a loop 8, afterwhich. the arms of the strand are intertwisted to provide astiiieningsection 9, the lower end 'of which is secured to the vertical standardI. A guard 10 is seecured to dtihe handle g at a. oint'bggvgeen theeye'7 an oo 8, sai at rovi means by which the holder r d ay b removedfrom the boiler, and is preferably constructed of non-heat-conductingmaterial. A sand time glass 11 is secured at its ends in a frame 12,

' which is pivotally mounted within the loop 8 upon brackets 13, "saidbrackets being secured to the side bars of the loop.

In practice, the eggs are placed in thereceiving members 3, after whichthe holder is inserted into the boiler. Immediately after the holder isinserted into the boiler, the frame 12 is turned to set the sand timeglass. 'When the eggs are cooked, the holder is removed irom the boilerby means of the guard 10, and if desired, the eggs may be served in theholder.

Changes in the form, proportions and minor details of construction maybe made Within the sec e of the claims without de p fi'om t e spirit orsacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

Having fully described and illustrated my invention, what I claim is:

' An egg holder comprising a vertical standard, arms secured to andradially projecting from' the standard, said arms forming the base ofthe holder, egg receiving members secured to the outer ends of the armsand con sisting of U-s'haped spring clamps, a handle secured to thestandard and formed to provide a loop, brackets secured to the side barof the loop, a flame pivotally mounted upon the brackets, and a timeglass carried by the frame.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
